I. INTRODUCTION 
At the XIII Congress of the International Society for 
Photogrammetry at Helsinki, Finland in 1976, the following 
resolution was recommended by Commission VI, and was 
adopted by the General Assembly: 
"Commission VI has noted that the continuously 
increasing fields of application of Photogrammetry 
and Remote Sensing would involve them in more diverse 
activities among fellow photogrammetrists and with 
colleagues in other associated branches of science 
and engineering. This demands continuous exchange of 
ideas with regard to "Notations and Terminology". 
It is, therefore, recommended that such activities 
be pursued with more vigor by continuing the efforts 
in one working group and that an appropriate multi 
lingual glossary be developed for submission to the 
XIV congress in 1980."
